Jordan King-Lacroix
Originally from Montreal, Canada I moved to Sydney, Australia with my family in 1996. I did my Bachelor of Arts at Sydney University majoring in English, Film and Theatre Studies, with studies also in Yiddish, Psychology and Art History. I spent the last year of my Bachelors at McGill University garnering writing and theatre performance experience. In 2010, I will start my Masters of Creative Writing.
I wrote for the Sydney University magazine The Bull, who's articles I will publish on The Screw, my review and opinion blog. I also wrote down my travels and experiences in New York and Europe in a travel blog, so please feel free to have a read! In addition to that, I also spend any time I can spare writing reviews for the group effort review blog, The Nail Gun, so please give them a gander when you have a chance!
